Royal Mail’s Research and Technology Department

The projects I am currently interested in are:
1. Using a collaborative robot to remove loose loaded bundles of mail (typically magazines) from a roll container. Will need to design suitable gripping tools, detect correct positioning of ancillary equipment, program robot to perform function.
2. Use RFID technology to detect and record (once only) every parcel (of various sizes) contained within a roll container. Will need to source suitable RFID detectors, RFID tags & software and then install the demonstrator.
3. Simulation or a scaled model to show how wide a range of parcels loose loaded into a trailer 13.6m long could be automatically removed and placed onto a belt conveyor in a single line with a small gap between each one.
4. I am also welcome to any ideas you may have that could improve any part of our current operation.
Could you please let me know if the above is of interest to you?

In the event of an emergency on campus requiring ambulance, police or fire brigade, call 22222 from an internal telephone. If you are on campus and you use a mobile to call for an emergency service (999), you should also then call 024 76 5 22222. This alerts the University Community Safety team and will enable the emergency vehicle to be speedily escorted to where it is required on the campus.
